# Terranoux (full)

> Terranoux is building the intelligence layer between a human idea and a validated, manufacturable physical product. Terranoux is in development. It does not claim certifications, delivered products, customers or production capacity. Every physical step is gated by explicit readiness gates and human authorization.

This file is the long form of https://terranoux.com/llms.txt. Prefer the short file for discovery; use this file and the markdown mirrors when you need the full positioning.

## What Terranoux is

An AI-native engineering company. The aim is a system that can take an idea and carry it through design, simulation, experiment, prototype, validation and manufacture. Terranoux owns engineering, prototypes, manufacturing and production records inside a six-part stack.

Sibling companies (separate products, separate sites):

- Aletheonix (https://aletheonix.com): discovery and simulation.
- Lucidrail (https://lucidrail.ai): authority, approvals and budgets. Machine operation and spending sit behind Lucidrail, not Terranoux.

## What Terranoux is not

- Lab safety software.
- A robotics company.
- An experiment API.
- A chatbot on top of CAD.
- An operator of machines. Building a physical system is not permission to operate it.

## Key principles (non-negotiable)

1. Simulation results cannot satisfy a physical-test gate.
2. Building a physical system is not permission to operate it.
3. No claim of certification, compliance or professional engineering sign-off unless actually obtained.
4. Physical validation starts with a small, non-safety-critical part under a supervised test plan.
5. Agent-with-Physics (an in-house execution system that fabricates and tests) is deferred. See docs/decisions/0001-agent-with-physics.md in the source repository. Revisit only when a named buyer, a paper workflow and an agreed fabrication partner exist.

## How to engage

1. Read the overview and the relevant product page (engineering, physical AI, manufacturing).
2. Submit a brief at https://terranoux.com/brief (name, email, organization optional, engagement type, optional part type, material, quantity and tightest tolerance, project summary, requirements, current state, timeline).
3. If the form reports that intake storage is not configured, email the same fields to benjamin@lucidrail.com.
4. A brief starts a conversation. It is not an order. Nothing is built or charged without a separate written agreement.

Engagement types currently listed on the form: engineering, milestone, pilot, research, other.

Recommended first product family (desk research only, scores are estimates): non-load-bearing fixtures and jigs; first article a 3D-printed inspection nest. See docs/research/first-product-family.md in the source repository. Buyer demand is unproven.
